| Ten Principles of Intercultural Communication. Observations on Igor E. Klyukanov’s Foundational Text | page 187-198 | ||
|
Intercultural communication is quickly becoming a pivotal area of study in an
increasingly expanding global village brought about by rapid telecommunications
technology. As a result, the danger for misunderstandings to arise when
interlocutors who belong to different speech communities enter into intercultural
communication situations are many. The study of the linguistic and interpersonal
dynamics that characterize such situations has been carried out in
recent years, producing many interesting findings.
|
What this line of research
lacks, however, is a theoretical framework. The recent work by Klukanov, which
proposes ten principles for the study of intercultural communication, can be
enlisted to construct such a framework. This paper examines these principles in
the light of their general implications for the systematic study of intercultural
communication and for discourse theory generally.
